Ehud (Judge living before Israel's Monarchy)
A left-handed judge from the tribe of Benjamin. He strapped a dagger to his right thigh, where nobody checks a right-handed man, killed the fat Moabite king Eglon, and locked the doors behind him on the way out. Israel then routed the Moabites and had eighty years of rest, the longest in Judges.

Ehud was a left-handed judge from the tribe of Benjamin who assassinated the obese Moabite king Eglon by strapping a hidden dagger to his right thigh, where guards wouldn't expect a weapon from a right-handed man, then walked out and locked the doors before anyone discovered the body. His subsequent rout of the leaderless Moabite army gave Israel eighty years of peace, the longest period of rest recorded in the book of Judges.
